Additional components, such as the vCenter Client or Update Manager, can easily
be added to the previous script. Simply add a few extra lines in the install script,
much like the vCenter Client install code that follows:
# Install vCenter Client
Write-Host “Installing vCenter Client”
Invoke-Item “$VCMedia\vpx\VMware-viclient.exe /s /w /v /qn `
/L*v %TEMP%\vmvcc.log `
WARNING_LEVEL=0”
